These specialty handmade ceramics are the work of Vermont artist, Laura Zindel. Find original hand-drawn roosters, hares, owls, bees, butterflies and ferns applied to a wide selection of dinnerware. Laura’s original collections are all USA made, right here in Brattleboro. Vermont.

Summer in Vermont is a time to relax and enjoy the natural world around us. Visitors to our home decor showroom at Stonehurst often spend as much time outside in our meadows & woodlands as they do inside the store. Birds, bees, butterflies and bunnies are frequent visitors here, making the Laura Zindel dinnerware that bears their likeness a favorite Stonehurst souvenir.

Laura’s hare and bunny collection includes coffee mugs, tumblers, vases, pitchers, plates and platters. Each image is original and hand drawn by Laura in her Brattleboro, Vermont studio.

Whether you’re looking to bring a bit of summer into your own kitchen or searching for a unique gift for someone special, check out our Laura Zindel Dinnerware Collection. Each of Laura’s designs is inspired by nature, hand drawn and then printed onto high quality handmade ceramic or china.
